In Review: Doctor Who – The Waters Of Mars Special
Written by Ian Cullen on November 17, 2009 – 11:00 am -
Synopsis: The Doctor joins forces with his oldest companion to date when a scientific research base comes under attack from sentient waters. It may be another stand against immeasurable odds, but waiting in the wings for the Time Lord is a sign that all songs must end…
The Review: For those that thing Russell T. Davies can’t write a dark episode of Doctor Who. Think again, because this team effort between RTD and Phil Ford is pretty dark, and takes the Doctor to a pretty dark place.
For me. This was the strongest special thus far. In last years Christmas Adventure The Next Doctor, we got light and fluffy, which led nicely into the first of the 2009 specials The Dead Planet, which offered up a mixed bag of dark and light, with enough humour to keep us smiling. Read more »

Tennant Takes Lead Role In NBC Pilot
Written by Wayne Hall on November 5, 2009 – 12:00 pm -
The Tenth Doctor could be appearing on NBC next fall, according to Geeks Of Doom.
David Tennant from Doctor Who has been chosen for the lead role in a pilot called Rex Is Not Your Lawyer, an hour-long legal dramedy about a Chicago lawyer who suffers from panic attacks.
Even though the program was first conceived in 2007, the studio wasn’t able to find the actor they wanted until they found Tennant. Whether or not he uses an accent (such as British or Scottish or even American), after starring in Doctor Who, it makes sense that he now plays a lawyer, which isn’t that much of a stretch.
